Manual scan

Manual scan can be used to inventory assets that are not connected to your network or are inaccessible for regular scanning for one reason or another. For example, assets running Windows XP Home Edition can only be scanned this way due to OS limitations.

1. Copy the agent executable to the asset you need to scan

2. Perform the scan

Launch the agent on the remote system. When the scanning is complete, a data file will be generated and, by default, placed into the directory the scanner is run from.

You can use these command line parameters for tniwinagent.exe:

/path:"\\server\share" allows to set a path to a folder where the data file will be placed;

/delay:XX specifies the gap in seconds between the agent's launch time and the start of the scan;

/overwrite overwrites the data file in case the target folder already contains its older version (otherwise, new files appended with (2), (3), etc. will be created after each scan);

/scripted is required for running the logon script scan;

/debug allows to scan an asset in debug mode (when scanning errors are detected in normal mode). A special data file will be created, which can be sent to the developers in order for them to search for and fix possible scan errors;
